Palliative care is an important focus of after-hours primary care support in the ACT as an expanding number of palliative care patients choose home-based care. CHN funds the After Hours Home Based Palliative Care Community Pharmacy Service which is provided by Capital Chemist Wanniassa and Charnwood. The home delivery service provides medication and other supports patients need. Pharmacists work closely with ACT Palliative Care, GPs and the patient’s usual Pharmacist to ensure affordable and timely access to palliative care medications in the after-hours period for home based palliative care patients. In the past year, 1,185 subsidised home deliveries of palliative care medication in the after-hours period were made.
